After experimenting with rolling cut out shapes onto the clay body, I tried the true inlay method, where I cut out the shape I was going to insert, cleared out all the clay, and then placed the new shape to match. This was painstaking work, hence the rather small number of hearts on this cat (also 4.5cm tall). I also inserted a pink heart in each ear, although it's a little hard to see this in the photograph.
It's easier to see the inlaid ears in the photograph from the back.
This must have taken a lot of work! I like the hearts in the ears :)
ReplyDeleteIs polymer clay fimo? I used to love making fimo brooches etc, although they never looked as professional as yours!
